Naturally, there was a point in time when Netscape was making an attempt to get that share of the market, but Web Explorer won out and there are numerous folks who do not realize Web Explorer is only their browser and they can change if they like. However, this isn't the case and there's a new boy on the block that's making use of the safety issues Net Explorer has experienced and pulling a big quantity of share of the market in a brief period of time. Firefox is a browser that is focused on opening internet sites fast while keeping those unpleasant pop-ups and malware in check.
Firefox was in its last stages last summer and fortuitously for the up and coming browser 2 Fed. agencies advocated Net surfers select a different browser than Net Explorer due to security issues IE faced. In fact, Internet Explorer held the share of the market for internet browsers at 95.5%, but has slid to 92.9% in just the few months Firefox has had its test version on the market. This might appear to be only a few % points, but these % points represent millions of people who have changed from IE to Firefox. So, what does this mean for IE and Firefox? Who will win this browser war? If Firefox continues gaining market share as it has then Firefox might come out on top. However, if IE works to mend its security issues it can potentially keep hold of its ninety percent and share of the market. Only the future has the answer, we will simply have to have patience and see.
